英语口语应用题的特点
"义务教育全日制初中英语教学的目的,是通过听、说、读、写的训练,使 学生获得英语基础知识和初步 运用英语交际的能力"。显然,要评价初中英语 教学是否达到大纲的要求,不仅要考查学生的语音、词汇、语 法,还要考查学 生初步运用英语交际的能力。如何考查交际能力?交际有两种形式,一是口头表 达形式;二是 笔头表达形式。目前我国中学中考考口试是不现实的,因此只能 以笔试代替口试。当今考查学生交际能力的题 型有很多,常用的有补全对话、 看图对话、看图填空、口语应用等形式。为了便于学生复习,笔者从《中考英 语 题典大全》(华中师范大学出版社出版)一书中选出的11道题进行简略分析, 以使广大考生对此类题的特 点有一个大致的了解。 "口语应用"一般是对话体,内容控制在《日常交际用语简表》规定的范围 内;对话的内容比较简单,一 般是学生实际生活中常见的事;句子结构比较简 单,尽量做到口语化。考生要熟练掌握大纲所规定的30个项目 的日常交际用语 的基本常识、常用句式和具备良好的语感。答题时要认真判断对话交际场合,仔 细理解所给单 句意思,弄清所给内容的整体意义,句与句之间的联系。下面是 实例分析: 一、打电话 1.It's me,Kate.Next Sunday is my birthday.Can you come to my party? 2.Hello!Who is speaking? 3.Ok.I'm sure he would love to come. 4.Oh,thanks very much.I'd love to.What time is it going to start? 5.Half past four.Don't forget to tell Jim.I hope he can come,too. A.31542 B.21453 C.15432 D.54123 分析:"Hello!Who is speaking?"是打电话所用的最基本语言,必定是文章 的首句。答语是一固定用语"I t's me."不可以说"I'm…",找出第一、二句,后 面根据问话内容就不难看出正确答案是B。 二、邀请 1.Thank you. 2.Sure.I would love to come. 3.It's my birthday.Would you come to my party? 4.I think so.Why? 5.Are you free next Tuesday evening? A.45312 B.34521 C.54321 D.12345 分析:"Are you free…"是邀请者问对方是否有空的用语,是此段对话的起 首句,"I think so"在此意为 "我想有空。""Why?"意为"什么事?",是第 5句的应答语。正确答案是C。 三、约会 1.How about going to play basketball? 2.Good idea!At what time? 3.Nothing much.Why? 4.At 4:30 in the afternoon. 5.What are you going to do tomorrow?
